Most of our home accessories and small pieces of furniture, will be shipped free via UPS ground. Our large furniture pieces will ship free via motor freight and are subject to the freight company's rules and regulation. Our free shipping offer is curb side delivery or self-service only, the delivery truck will unload your shipment, but it’s your responsibility to unpack and move your furniture inside your home, the driver will not help you. Our free shipping offer does not include the following services: inside delivery (your home or office) or delivery inside a building, delivery before or after regular working hours, delivery on weekends or delivery to any 2nd floor or higher resident. Once your order has been shipped, any change of address during transit will result in a reconsignment fee, paid by the customer. It is your responsibility to be present or have someone present during the delivery of your order/shipment. If you are not home at the delivery time, you will be charged a $45.00 redelivery fee. Upon prior notification, we strongly suggest having assistance accepting large and heavy orders or shipment. If your home is not accessible by delivery truck, i.e. live on an unpaved or small narrow road, it will be your responsibility to provide a means of transportation from the delivery truck to your home or the freight company’s terminal to your home.

What is my responsibility at the time of delivery and what should I do if I notice my piece is damaged?

 We take great care to securely pack, box, and strap your furniture piece to a pallet before delivery to your home. However, if you have ordered white glove in-home delivery, the delivery company will deliver the piece boxed, without a pallet. Before signing the delivery receipt, please inspect the package for any outside damage. If you notice any damage, such as dents, tears, crushing, or holes, immediately inform the driver and unpack the piece in question in their presence. If you find that the piece is damaged, write down the details of the damage on the delivery receipt and keep a copy for yourself. Please note that any damage or loss during transit is the responsibility of the carrier, as we have carefully packed and inspected your package to withstand normal handling in shipment. If you notice any loss or damage, please inform the carrier at the address provided on the receipt.

 If you receive a shipment from UPS Ground delivery and find that the item is damaged, you must report it to us within three days of delivery so that we can file a claim and replace the damaged item. It is crucial that you notify the delivering carrier in writing as soon as possible and request an inspection of the damage item. Please refuse delivery of any visibly damaged merchandise. If you do refuse delivery and properly note the damage on the driver's delivery receipt, we will file all necessary claims with the shipping company and send a replacement item to you. If you fail to note damages at the time of delivery and refuse the merchandise, you may face significant delays, additional expenses, and shipping charges to correct the damage.

 If you have any questions about our free shipping offer, damaged merchandise, or your responsibility during delivery, please call us at 1-877-671-0157.
